Honeymooners Routed Out by Mice

Prince Bismarck's S second son seems 10
be destined 10 bring before the world a
modern disciple OF the famous Piper of
Hamelin. Count VIII, who, since his re-
cent marriage, has exchanged his lively
bachelor amusements for retired life in
some somber ancestral castle, has had bis
honeymoon interrupted in the most prosaic
manner by . formidable army of mice,
which infested the place from cellar to
garret, causing the greatest annoyance,
and making life almost unbearable in
the place, In the very nick of time, when,
like the locusts of Pharaoh, very gre
vIous were they" q man presented him
self before the Count, and entered
into a contract to the effect that he
would cause every mouse to disappear
as soon as he was promised 100 marks in
payment. No sooner said than done; the
mice vanished as il by enchantment, but
Count VIII refused to pay when the man
soon after demanded his 100 marks, on the
plea that servant had still seen one mouse
at the stables. After endeavoring in vain
to find the last of the vanished host, the
charmer once more demanded and was
refused payment so long as he could not
prove the non-existenee of the stable
mouse. In despair, he went at last before
the magistrate, and his case is now pend
ing. Fortunately the castle where Count
Will is residing is situated in very lonely
part of the country, where there is but
little danger of the terrible revenge of the
first famous ratcatcher being repeated

CRUISE OF THE wOLCOrT.
Loss of the st. Stephens-Thirty Wrecks
Found an the Nnrth Cnast


Copyright, 1887, By the California associated Press
PORT TOWNSEND, May 25th.-[By Postal
Telegraph. THE revenue cutter Oliver
Wolcott, Captain Glover, returned to-day
after an unsuccessful search for the crew of
the ship st. Stephens, which was ascer-
tanned TO have been wrecked on a reef off
Cape Cook on April 9th. The vessel was
loaded with , 200 tons of coal from Seattle
for San Francisco. The Wolcott arrived
at Ququoquo Sound on Monday. where an
Indian village is located. They reported
that during a heavy southwest gale on the
night of April 9th, the ship encountered a
reef which exists off the entrance of this
Sound, and next morning only portion
of her hull was visible. Three whitehall
boats were washed ashore, two of which
were badly stove in. The third was un-
injured, and is now being used by the In
dians, A compass case containing the pri-
vate correspondence of Captain Douglas. OF
the st. Stephens, the ships accounts, stores,
pictures belonging to the Captains daugh-
ter, also some domestic geese, came ashore
ON April 18th. Not the slightest indica-
tions could be obtained of Captain Doug
lass or the crew, They must have urdoubt-
edly perished while endeavoring to leave
the vessel, and the strong current which pre-
walls along the entire western coast of Van
cOUTef lSlanu mas carried tnelr DOQleS north
along desolate and uninhabited coast.
The brig North Star, which sailed on
March Both from Seattle for San Diego,
loaded with lumber, was found on Portland
Point, the hull being in a good condition,
and keel up.
The brig Irene was next found on Hes
quit Point.
During the voyage from Cape Cook to
Cape Beale thirty wrecks were found, some
OF which have been there for years The
beach is covered with new lumber. A re-
ward Of 81 600 for information Of the crew
of the st. Stephens was freely offered to
the Indians, who exerted themselves won
derfully to obtain any information concern
ing the crew of the st. Stephens, but with
out success.
The cutter Wolcott was gone four days,
and spoke the sealing schooner Kate and
Annie, bound north on Sunday.
